"Great read"

I usually try to get american accent narrators because I am afraid I may not understand the pure english ones and what they are saying, being a non-born english speaker myself..... But my God this narrator gave another meaning to this book. I was completely hooked !!!

I enjoyed this book so much, i kept on going whenever I got the chance of a little alonr time. I smiled and laughed while listening to it, and I got a bit emotional at times and there where other times I just went on speaking to the character saying something like " OH MY GOD !!! "

I had a bit of a problem at the beginning when you really try to focus and understand where is this book going and what it is about but I quickly got over that and was inmerse into the storyline.

I liked the main character, she was funny and impulsive and she had a spirited mind.... I guess the writer is an excellent one! I recommend this book for an enjoyable time.

"Book is fine - narration is VERY annoying"

The book is good, light, fun.

And although I appreciate that the main character is currently living in Edinburgh - it's evident that the author - a southerner - doesn't actually understand the Scottish speech patterns. This means that the narrator - who is also fine - has an almost impossible job to do. She reads the book in a strong Scottish (East coast) accent throughout. However the author didn't write the book so that this would work.

Not a happy match of book/author/narrator - I found it intensely irritating. So much so I gave up and frankly wish I could return the darn book.. If you wouldn't know a Scottish accent or speech pattern from a London one - it probably won't bother you -- but if you're Scottish I REALLY wouldn't bother with this one.

"Very enjoyable listen"

This has been one of those books that has kept me up way past a sensible bedtime just to get to the end. Kind of thought I could guess the end but wasn't so sure until the last. Beautiful performance too.

"Extremely Enjoyable."

What made the experience of listening to A Passionate Love Affair with a Total Stranger the most enjoyable?

Well constructed story around very believable characters. The narrator and story were excellently matched.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Charley Lambert - the main character was my favourite personality in the story - she is portrayed as a very strong minded business woman who can be very clumsy and very funny. Written in the first person - the narrator certainly became this character and that of others personalities within the story.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I enjoyed the entire book - all scenes were totally captivating.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Definitely a book that can be enjoyed in one sitting - life permitting of course!

Any additional comments?

Will certainly be listening to more from this author and narrator - an excellent combination.
